Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt in a small bowl, then set aside.
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together in a medium bowl with a hand mixer (or in a standing mixer), for 1 minute.
- Add vanilla and egg yolk and beat for an additional minute, or until light and fluffy.
- Add dry ingredients and beat until incorporated.

- Use a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop to portion dough, then roll it into balls and place evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned and the top is just barely set. They will look underbaked. Do not overbake.
- Put the baking sheet on a wire cooling rack and let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Or eat them slightly warm and gooey.

Notes
Ingredient Notes/Substitutions
- All-purpose flour. For a gluten-free version use 1:1 all-purpose gluten-free flour.
- Fine sea salt. Use fine (not coarse) sea salt. If using iodized table salt, decrease the amount by half.
- Salted Butter. Unsalted butter, coconut oil, ghee or vegan butter sticks (like Earth's Balance) work well.
- Granulated sugar. I recommend using organic cane sugar or regular white sugar.
- Light brown sugar. dark brown sugar will impart a more pronounced molasses taste.
- Egg yolk. you can use egg replacer, or 1 tablespoon heavy cream in place of the yolk if desired.
- Chocolate chips. use your favorite variety, or use chopped chocolate bars, etc.
